Who is entitled to vote?
You may vote if you are a holder of ordinary shares of the Company as of the close of business on May 6, 2026, which we refer to as the “Record Date”. As of May 6, 2026, there are 27,112,443 Class A Ordinary Shares and 10,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. Each of our Class B ordinary shares has fifty (50) votes per share, and each of our Class A ordinary shares has one (1) vote per share.
How do I vote before the Extraordinary General Meeting?
If you are a registered shareholder, meaning that you hold your shares in certificate form, you have the following voting options:
| (1) | By Internet, which we encourage if you have Internet access, at the address shown on your proxy card; |
| (2) | By mail, by completing, signing, and returning the enclosed proxy card; or |
| (3) | During the Extraordinary General Meeting in person. |
If you vote via the internet, your electronic vote authorizes the named proxies in the same manner as if you signed, dated, and returned your proxy card. If you vote via the internet, do not return your proxy card.
If you hold your shares through an account with a bank or broker, your ability to vote by the Internet depends on their voting procedures. Please follow the directions that your bank or broker provides.
Can I change my mind after I return my proxy?
You may change your vote at any time before the polls close at the conclusion of voting at the Extraordinary General Meeting. You may do this by (1) signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to us before the Extraordinary General Meeting, (2) voting again over the Internet prior to the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, or (3) voting at the Extraordinary General Meeting if you are a registered shareholder or have followed the necessary procedures required by your bank or broker.
What if I return my proxy card but do not provide voting instructions?
Proxies that are signed and returned but do not contain instructions will be voted “FOR” all Proposals in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies on any other matters properly brought before the Extraordinary General Meeting.
5
What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card or instruction form?
It indicates that your ordinary shares are registered differently and are in more than one account. To ensure that all shares are voted, please either vote each account on the Internet, or sign and return all proxy cards. We encourage you to register all your accounts in the same name and address. Those holding shares through a bank or broker should contact their bank or broker and request consolidation.
How many votes must be present to hold the Extraordinary General Meeting?
Your shares are counted as present at the Extraordinary General Meeting if you attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote in person or if you properly return a proxy by internet or mail. In order for us to conduct the Extraordinary General Meeting, one or more shareholders holding shares that represent not less than one-third of our outstanding shares carrying the right to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting must be present in person or by proxy. This is referred to as a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If a quorum is not present or represented, the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting may, with the consent of the Extraordinary General Meeting, adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the Extraordinary General Meeting, until a quorum is present or represented.
How many votes are needed to approve the Company’s proposals?
Proposal One. This proposal requires affirmative (“FOR”) votes of a majority of votes cast by holders holding shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Proposal Two. This proposal requires affirmative (“FOR”) votes of at least two-thirds of votes cast by holders holding shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Proposal Three. This proposal requires affirmative (“FOR”) votes of a majority of votes cast by holders holding shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Proposal Four. This proposal requires affirmative (“FOR”) votes of at least two-thirds of votes cast by holders holding shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Proposal Five. This proposal requires affirmative (“FOR”) votes of a majority of votes cast by holders holding shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
6
What are Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes?
All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. An abstention is the voluntary act of not voting by a shareholder who is present at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee, your broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some of the matters to be acted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions regarding such matters, your proxy will be deemed a “broker non-vote.”
The question of whether your broker or nominee may be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to a particular matter depends on whether the particular proposal is deemed to be a “routine” matter and how your broker or nominee exercises any discretion they may have in the voting of the shares that you beneficially own. Brokers and nominees can use their discretion to vote “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. Under the rules and interpretations of the NYSE, “non-routine” matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of shareholder, such as mergers, shareholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested), executive compensation (including any advisory shareholder votes on executive compensation and on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation), and certain corporate governance proposals, even if management-supported.
For any proposal that is considered a “routine” matter, your broker or nominee may vote your shares in its discretion either for or against the proposal even in the absence of your instruction. For any proposal that is considered a “non-routine” matter for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as broker non-votes. “Broker non-votes” occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in street name does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed “non-routine.” Broker non-votes will not be considered to be shares “entitled to vote” on any “non-routine” matter and therefore will not be counted as having been voted on the applicable proposal. Therefore, if you are a beneficial owner and want to ensure that shares you beneficially own are voted in favor or against any or all of the proposals in this proxy statement, the only way you can do so is to give your broker or nominee specific instructions as to how the shares are to be voted.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast on an item and therefore will not affect the outcome of any proposal presented in this proxy statement. Abstention and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum present at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Note that if you are a beneficial holder and do not provide specific voting instructions to your broker, the broker that holds your shares will not be authorized to vote on any of the Proposals because each is considered a non-routine matter.
Accordingly, we encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker, whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting.

PROPOSAL ONE
BY AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION, TO APPROVE AN INCREASE OF THE COMPANY’S AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL
(ITEM 1 ON THE PROXY CARD)
General
The Board of Directors approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company to approve, by an ordinary resolution, to approve an increase of the Company’s authorized share capital from US$1,000,000.00 divided into 1,000,000,000 shares comprising of (i) 900,000,000 class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.001 each and (ii) 100,000,000 class B ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.001, to US$20,000,000.00 divided into 20,000,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.001 each comprising (i) 18,000,000,000 class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.001 each (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) and (ii) 2,000,000,000 class B ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.001 each (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), by the creation of additional 17,100,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 1,900,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, with immediate effect (the “Share Capital Increase”) and to authorize any director of the Company or the registered office provider of the Company to do all other acts and things as the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) considers necessary or desirable in connection with the Share Capital Increase, including without limitation, notifying and attending to the necessary filings with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.
Potential Effects
If shareholders approve this proposal, the Share Capital Increase will become effective immediately upon such approval. The Share Capital Increase will provide the Company with additional authorized but unissued shares to support its future capital-raising, employee compensation and corporate development activities. The Share Capital Increase will not, by itself, change the rights of existing shareholders or the number of shares currently issued and outstanding.
Vote Required
This Proposal requires affirmative (“FOR”) votes of a majority of votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” this proposal.
Recommendation of the Board
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL.
8
PROPOSAL TWO
BY A SPECIAL RESOLUTION, TO APPROVE THE ADOPTION OF THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
(ITEM 2 ON THE PROXY CARD)
General
The Board of Directors approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company to approve, by a special resolution, subject to the approval by the shareholders of Proposal One, and entirely conditional upon the effectiveness of the Share Capital Increase, to approve the amendment and restatement of the second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company currently in effect (the “Current M&A”) and the adoption of the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company (“Third Amended and Restated M&A”), in the form annexed hereto as Appendix A, in substitution for, and to the exclusion of the Current M&A in their entirety, to reflect the Share Capital Increase, with immediate effect (the “Adoption of the Third Amended and Restated M&A”) and to authorize any director of the Company or the registered office provider of the Company to do all other acts and things as the Board considers necessary or desirable in connection with the Adoption of the Third Amended and Restated M&A, including without limitation, attending to the necessary filing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.
Potential Effects
If shareholders approve this proposal, and entirely conditional upon the approval by the shareholders of Proposal One and the effectiveness of the Share Capital Increase, the Third Amended and Restated M&A will become effective immediately upon such approval and the Current M&A will be substituted in their entirety by the Third Amended and Restated M&A.
Vote Required
This Proposal requires affirmative (“FOR”) votes of at least two-thirds of votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” this proposal.
Recommendation of the Board
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL THREE
BY
AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION, TO APPROVE A SHARE CONSOLIDATION OF THE COMPANY’S
ORDINARY SHARES AT A RATIO BETWEEN 1-FOR-2 AND 1-FOR-20
(ITEM 3 ON THE PROXY CARD)
General
The Board of Directors approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company to approve, by an ordinary resolution, subsequent to the completion of the Share Capital Increase and the Adoption of the Third Amended and Restated M&A, (a) to approve a share consolidation of the Company’s issued and unissued Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, at a uniform ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-20 (the “Range”), with the final ratio to be set at a whole number within the Range to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion at any time after approval by the shareholders of Proposal Three and prior to the one-year anniversary of the Meeting (the “Share Consolidation”), and to authorize the Board to implement such Share Consolidation at its sole discretion at any time prior to the one-year anniversary of the Meeting; (b) in respect of any and all fractional entitlements to the issued consolidated shares resulting from the Share Consolidation, if so determined and recommended by the Board in its sole discretion, to authorize the directors of the Company to settle as they consider expedient any difficulty which arises in relation to the Share Consolidation, including but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, capitalizing all or any part of any amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve accounts of the Company (including its share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution and applying such sum in paying up in full unissued Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued to shareholders of the Company to round up any fractions of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares issued to or registered in the name of such shareholders of the Company following or as a result of the Share Consolidation, provided that immediately following the date on which proposed capitalization (including but not limited to payment from share premium account) to round up any fractional shares, the Company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business; and (c) to authorize the Board to do all other acts and things as the Board considers necessary or desirable for the purposes of the transactions contemplated by or giving effect to and implementing Proposal Three, including but not limited to determining the final Share Consolidation ratio and the effective date of the Share Consolidation and instructing the registered office provider or transfer agent of the Company to complete the necessary corporate record(s) and make all necessary filing(s) with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands to reflect the Share Consolidation.
Potential Effects
The Board believes that the proposed Share Consolidation will, among other things, position the Company to maintain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market and to enhance the marketability of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares to potential investors. The Board is seeking shareholder approval for a range of consolidation ratios, rather than a fixed ratio, in order to provide the Board with flexibility to determine the most appropriate ratio based on prevailing market conditions and the trading price of the Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of implementation. If implemented, the Share Consolidation will apply uniformly to all issued and unissued Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. Each shareholder will hold approximately the same percentage of the Company’s outstanding shares immediately following the Share Consolidation as such shareholder held immediately prior to the Share Consolidation, subject to adjustments for any fractional shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Share Consolidation.
Vote Required
This Proposal requires affirmative (“FOR”) votes of a majority of votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” this proposal.
Recommendation of the Board
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL.
10
PROPOSAL FOUR
BY
A SPECIAL RESOLUTION, TO ADOPT A FURTHER AMENDED AND RESTATED
MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION TO REFLECT THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION
(ITEM 4 ON THE PROXY CARD)
General
The Board of Directors approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company to approve, by a special resolution, subject to and conditional upon Proposal Three being passed, to adopt an amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company (the “Restated M&A”) in substitution for, and to the exclusion of, the then effective memorandum and articles of association of the Company, to implement and reflect the Share Consolidation, becoming effective on the effective date of the Share Consolidation as the Board may determine in its sole discretion so long as it is implemented prior to the one-year anniversary of the Meeting, and to authorize the Board or the registered office provider of the Company to do all other acts and things as the Board considers necessary or desirable in connection with the adoption of the Restated M&A, including without limitation, attending to the necessary filing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.
Potential Effects
If shareholders approve this Proposal Four (subject to and conditional upon Proposal Three is also approved), the Restated M&A will be adopted in substitution for, and to the exclusion of, the then-effective memorandum and articles of association of the Company, and will become effective on the effective date of the Share Consolidation. The Restated M&A will give effect to the Share Consolidation by amending the share capital clause to reflect the numbers of shares and par value subsequent to the Share Consolidation, but will otherwise preserve the substantive terms of the then-effective memorandum and articles of association of the Company.
Vote Required
This Proposal requires affirmative (“FOR”) votes of at least two-thirds of votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” this proposal.
Recommendation of the Board
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL.
11
PROPOSAL FIVE
BY AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION, TO ADJOURN THE MEETING IF NECESSARY
(ITEM 5 ON THE PROXY CARD)
General
The Board of Directors approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company to approve, by an ordinary resolution and subject to the then effective memorandum and articles of association of the Company, to adjourn the Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of Proposals One to Four.
Potential Effects
If shareholders approve this Proposal Five, the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting will be authorized, in his or her discretion, to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting one or more times to permit the Company to solicit additional proxies in the event there are insufficient votes at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting to approve any of Proposals One through Four. If shareholders do not approve this Proposal Five, the chairman may not have the authority to adjourn the Meeting to a later date in the event there are insufficient votes to approve any of Proposals One through Four.
Vote Required
This Proposal requires affirmative (“FOR”) votes of a majority of votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” this proposal.
Recommendation of the Board
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL.
12
OTHER MATTERS
GENERAL
Should Proposal One and Proposal Two be approved, the Company’s currently effective second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will be substituted for and replaced in their entirety by the Third Amended and Restated M&A of the Company in the form annexed hereto as Appendix A. Should Proposals Three and Four also be approved, the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will, on the effective date of the Share Consolidation as determined by the Board, be further substituted for and replaced by the Restated M&A described in Proposal Four to give effect to the Share Consolidation.
The Board of Directors does not know of any matters other than those stated in this Proxy Statement that are to be presented for action at the meeting. If any other matters should properly come before the meeting, it is intended that proxies in the accompanying form will be voted on any such other matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting such proxies. Discretionary authority to vote on such matters is conferred by such proxies upon the persons voting them.
The Company will bear the cost of preparing, printing, assembling and mailing the proxy card, Proxy Statement and other material which may be sent to shareholders in connection with this solicitation. It is contemplated that brokerage houses will forward the proxy materials to beneficial owners at our request. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mails, officers and regular employees of the Company may solicit proxies without additional compensation, by telephone or telegraph. We may reimburse brokers or other persons holding Shares in their names or the names of their nominees for the expenses of forwarding soliciting material to their principals and obtaining their proxies.

The Company’s lien (if any) on a share shall extend to all dividends or other monies payable in respect thereof. |
| 23. | The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any shares on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, nor until the expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing stating and demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder or holders for the time being of the share, or the person, of which the Company has notice, entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy. |

| 25. | The proceeds of such sale shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and the residue, if any, shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares at the date of the sale. |
CALL ON SHARES
| 26. | (a) The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their shares (whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of premium or otherwise) and not by the conditions of allotment thereof made payable at fixed terms, provided that no call shall be payable at less than one month from the date fixed for the payment of the last preceding call, and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen days notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Directors may determine. A call may be made payable by instalments. |
| (b) A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed. |

| 27. | If a sum called in respect of a share is not paid before or on a day appointed for payment thereof, the persons from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the sum from the day appointed for payment thereof to the time of actual payment at such rate not exceeding ten per cent per annum as the Directors may determine, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of such interest either wholly or in part. |
| 28. | Any sum which by the terms of issue of a share becomes payable on allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium or otherwise, shall for the purposes of these Articles be deemed to be a call duly made, notified and payable on the date on which by the terms of issue the same becomes payable, and in the case of non-payment all the relevant provisions of these Articles as to payment of interest forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. |
| 29. | The Directors may, on the issue of shares, differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls or interest to be paid and the times of payment. |
| 30. | (a) The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the same, all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any shares held by him, and upon all or any of the monies so advanced may (until the same would but for such advances, become payable) pay interest at such rate not exceeding (unless the Company in general meeting shall otherwise direct) seven per cent per annum, as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such sum in advance. |
(b) No such sum paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such sum to any portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such sum would, but for such payment, become presently payable.
FORFEITURE OF SHARES
| 31. | (a) If a Member fails to pay any call or instalment of a call or to make any payment required by the terms of issue on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of the call, instalment or payment remains unpaid, give notice requiring payment of so much of the call, instalment or payment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. Such notice shall name a day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of giving of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that, in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the shares in respect of which such notice was given will be liable to be forfeited. |
(b) If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited share and not actually paid before the forfeiture.
(c) A forfeited share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit.
| 32. | A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which, at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares together with interest thereon, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies whenever payable in respect of the shares. |
A-9
| 33. | A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or the Secretary of the Company that a share in the Company has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration shall be conclusive evidence of the fact therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share. The Company may receive the consideration given for the share on any sale or disposition thereof and may execute a transfer of the share in favour of the person to whom the share is sold or disposed of and he shall thereupon be registered as the holder of the share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the share. |
| 34. | The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. |
REGISTRATION OF EMPOWERING INSTRUMENTS
| 35. | The Company shall be entitled to charge a fee not exceeding one dollar (US$l.00) on the registration of every probate, letters of administration, certificate of death or marriage, power of attorney, notice in lieu of distringas, or other instrument. |
TRANSMISSION OF SHARES
| 36. | In case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased where he was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares, but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of any such deceased holder from any liability in respect of any shares which had been held by him solely or jointly with other persons. |

| 100. | Members of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or of such committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and participation in a meeting pursuant to this provision shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. A resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts), signed by all the Directors for the time being or all the members of a committee of Directors (an alternate Director being entitled to sign such resolution on behalf of his appointor) shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors or committee as the case may be duly convened and held. |

| 108. | Subject to the Statute, the Directors may from time to time declare dividends (including interim dividends) and distributions on shares of the Company outstanding and authorise payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefore. |
| 109. | The Directors may, before declaring any dividends or distributions, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the like discretion, be employed in the business of the Company. |
| 110. | No dividend or distribution shall be payable except out of the profits of the Company, realised or unrealised, or out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by the Statute. |
| 111. | Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to shares with special rights as to dividends or distributions, if dividends or distributions are to be declared on a class of shares they shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares of such class outstanding on the record date for such dividend or distribution as determined in accordance with these Articles but no amount paid or credited as paid on a share in advance of calls shall be treated for the purpose of this Article as paid on the share. |
| 112. | The Directors may deduct from any dividend or distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) presently payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise. |
| 113. | The Directors may declare that any dividend or distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular of paid up shares, debentures, or debenture stock of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional certificates and fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Directors. |
| 114. | Any dividend, distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of shares may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the holder who is first named on the register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the share held by them as joint holders. |
| 115. | No dividend or distribution shall bear interest against the Company. |
CAPITALISATION
| 116. | The Company may upon the recommendation of the Directors by ordinary resolution authorise the Directors to capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution and to appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst them had the same been a distribution of profits by way of dividend and to apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit for the case of shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all concerned. |

The Directors may fill any casual vacancy in the office of Auditor but while any such vacancy continues the surviving or continuing Auditor or Auditors, if any, may act.

The liquidator may with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any shares or other securities whereon there is any liability. |
| 130. | If the Company shall be wound up, and the assets available for distribution amongst the Members as such shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the paid-up capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the capital paid up, or which ought to have been paid up, at the commencement of the winding up on the shares held by them respectively. And if in a winding up the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the capital paid up at the commencement of the winding up, the excess shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the capital paid up at the commencement of the winding up on the shares held by them respectively. This Article is to be without prejudice to the rights of the holders of shares issued upon special terms and conditions. |
